Make a cell with a list of values (#s, text) from other cells

[akutach]

I am trying to make a label from an Excel file. The content for one of the
cells to be printed is found in other cells on a different worksheet of the
same file.

How do you automatically put the values (#s and text) from multiple cells as
a list into one cell (the one to be printed)?

 

[Jacob Skaria]

Try the formula

=Sheet2!A1 & " " & Sheet3!A1

OR

=Sheet2!A1 & char(10) & Sheet3!A1
'Apply wraptext to this cell to list down the values in separate lines..

If this post helps click Yes

And if you need a special format (fixed decimals, leading 0's, times or date or
money or...):

=text(a1,"00.000")&text(b1,"hh:mm:ss")&text(c1,"mm/dd/yyyy")

But if you're making labels to print, you may want to use excel as your database
and MSWord to do the work.

Saved from a previous post:

Lots of times, it's easier to use MSWord for printing and Excel (or some other
database application) as the source.

There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you:

I often cheat instead of racking my brain.

I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use:
=text(a2,"ddmmyy")
or
=text(a2,"mm:ss.0")
or
=text(a2,"00000")
(or whatever format I want)
and use that field in the mailmerge.

(Cheating doesn't bother me anymore <vbg>.)
